Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread (thick slices)
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons jalapeno jelly
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
While the bacon cooks, lightly toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
Spread 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter onto each slice of toasted sourdough bread.
Spread 1 tablespoon of jalapeno jelly evenly onto each slice of bread, over the buttered surface.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each slice of bread.
Place the slices of bread onto a baking sheet. Place the sheet under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is melted and bubbly. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully place 2 slices of crispy bacon on top of the melted cheese for each sandwich.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Open Faced Bacon and Cheese Sandwich with Jalapeno Jelly!
